TrakSYS X Training Course Lab Manual Introduction
Introduction
Summary
This lab manual contains detailed instructions for completing several hands-on activities using
the TrakSYS application. The following sections describe some of the document conventions
and recommendations for executing the lab exercises.
Training Virtual Server
The exercises in this lab manual are designed to be executed on a specially prepared TrakSYS
training server. Each student in the class will be assigned a training server name (T01, T02, T03…
etc). The following steps will allow you to login to and access your personal training server using
Windows Remote Desktop Connection…
• Click the Start menu and type “Remote Desktop Connection”. Choose the Remote
Desktop Connection link from the filtered applications.
• A Remote Desktop Connection (RDP) dialog should be displayed, type the name of your
specific server (T01, T02, T03… etc) into the Computer text entry field and click Connect.
• When prompted, the login is administrator and the password is Parsec1.
You will utilize this same training server for the duration of the class sessions.
Text Conventions
Throughout the lab manual, certain types of key words will be highlighted in bold. The
convention is that any menu/button captions, form labels, configuration values, and TrakSYS
entity names (such as Areas or Systems) will be highlighted in bold.
Example: Click the New menu option to open the new Area input form. Provide the value
Packaging in the Name field before pressing the OK button to close the form.
Step Descriptions
For each lab, there will be multiple steps defined to complete the exercise. Each step contains a
short description of what needs to be done to complete the work. Beneath the description will
be a bullet list of items that give tips and details regarding how to complete the step. Finally, on
some steps, a concluding description may be provided indicating the expected results when the
step is completed.
An example of the formatting is shown below.

Execution Recommendations
It is quite common to execute the lab steps by repeatedly looking back and forth from the
printed lab manual to the screen. During these iterations, it is sometimes difficult to “re-
acquire” the last executed instruction from the lab manual. It is recommended that a system of
“denoting” each detail/step with a pen/pencil mark as it is completed be adopted.
At the end of each lab, is a Conclusion section. It is recommended that this be read after each
exercise. It provides some repetitive re-enforcement of skills that were just learned, as well as
some additional perspective on the tasks that can only be understood after completing the
steps.
